I actually agree ...
The thing that I find starnge is that anyone thinks the damage that NPCs can take is reasonable. I've seen the movies I read a LOT of teh books. Space combat is supposed to be nasty , brutal and end suddenly. Sure 1 hit kills would not be the norm. But 2-4 hit kills would be. These fighters are Small. As an example. a gunboat currently can be killed in about 15-20 hits(with Teir 4 stuff)if you can get them all in the same shield and not get killed by him in return. Why should a ship that is 1/10 the mass (or less) of that gunboat have a chance of surviving even 1/2 that many hits?

Part of the problem is we agree, but the big ships like gunboats wepilot get killed in about 2-4 hits as well.

Personally, I think 25% PvP dmg reduction is a bit low. I haven't spent much time PvPing yet, but I think a 50% modifier would be even better. I would honestly like to see dogfights taking longer.
Really 25% is plenty. It shouldnt last so long that it becomes unrealistic. 5-8 well aimed shots should do. Not 20-30... If the opponenent is any compotent, 5-8 shots is alot to get hit by in a row.

5-8 is all nice and well, but we're seeing 1-3 right now.

I know.. Thats why I said 25% is plenty for the reduction. I was referring to......after the hotfix reduction takes place.........will probably be 5-8 shots then. I know its 1-3 shot now..........but w/e. Thanks for the help, I guess...
